> The purpose of this project is to inform as regards the various
> possibilities for digital archiving of audiovisual materials and the
> strategies for their dissemination.
>
> In Slovenia, there exists no digital archive for all the vast and
> important video and new media production. The individual organisations
> and artists have audiovisual materials mostly in a rough form that is
> hardly accessible to professionals or general public. On the official
> level, i.e. at the Ministry of Culture & Office of Cultural Heritage,
> nobody is working on that question claiming that video/new media are
> too new categories to be considered by their preservation/protection
> programs.
>
> This current situation has triggered SCCA-Ljubljana to conceive a
> project discussing the issue of the production and dissemination of
> video (& new media) archives on a practical and theoretical level. The
> project is a logical continuation of the SCCA concerns with research
> and documentation of video production, which have resulted in
> Videodokument: Video art in Slovenia 1969-1998 (catalogue, book of
> essays, CD-ROM and web site, 1999/2003).
>
> The main aims of the project are:
> - to establish a platform for preservation, presentation and
> dissemination of the audiovisual contents (contextual level)
> - to trigger the institutional change, i.e. to make possible the
> inclusion of the audiovisual/video archives under the sector of the
> national cultural heritage (political level)
> - to present models and means of preservation, presentational
> strategies and possibilities of dissemination (theoretical level)
> - to educate the participants of the workshop in production of digital
> archives and to inform them about the models of archiving for the
> purposes of storage or presentation and dissemination / to trigger the
> SCCA DVD, CD-ROM publishing (practical level).
